Modernized with angled flight deck, steam catapults, and mirror landing systems, the LEXINGTON is' a mobile air base capable of launching any carrier-based aircraft, including twin-engine jet bombers. The history of ships bearing the name LEXINGTON is as long and dramatic as the U. S. Navy itself. l From 1775, until today, the national ensign has flown from Eve successive LEXINGTONS. Through the Revolutionary War, the Mexican War, and the Civil War, a LEXINGTON Was in action. The outbreak of World War II found the fourth USS LEXINGTON QGV-221 and her sister ship, the USS SARATOGA, the first aircraft carriers built by the U. S. Navy, in the Pacific. Her many strikes took a steady toll of enemy warships and aircraft. The LEXINGTON compiled a brilliant combat record before she was sunk during the Battle of the Coral Sea, May 9, 1942, the result of torpedo and bomb damage. Sixteen months later the present LEXINGTON fone of the first H ESSEX Class carriersj appeared in the Pacific, participating in nearly every remaining campaign and avenging her predecessor. The enemy promptly dubbed her the at BLUE GHOST? P By the end of the War, the USS LEXINGTON QGVA-16j had destroyed more than 850 enemy planes. She sank 300,000 tons of shipping and damaged another 300,000 tons. Since recommissioning in 1955, the LEXQNGTON has alternated between carrier pilot qualifications on the West 'Coast and deployments in the Far East as a member of the SEVENTH FLEET. But no matter Where or what her immediate job is, her long range objective is to maintain the peace she fought so hard to Win. In crises such as Formosa and Laos, the modern MINUTEMEN of the USS LEXINGTON were ready, thus proving themselves Worthy descendants ofthe illustrious Massachusetts patriots whose battleground gave the ship its name.

Q F 150 9 V, 1 yxng, xi LAOS was a very unpleasant name to the Lexington during this cruise. Shortly after the cruise started we were called upon to take station off the coast of Vietnam to be in a position to aid the government of Laos which we were supporting. Communists were pushing from the north into this tiny, bachward country. Courtesy National Geographic Society fust before Christmas the situation eased somewhat, at least enough to allow the Lexington to go to Hong Kong for the Holidays. However as soon as we lqft Hong Kong we headed once more to our old stationary PIM in the South China Sea. W hen we were finally ordered north to our favorite ports of fapan we were again rudely interrupted and back we went to the South China Sea. As much as we disliked being at this potential battle front we all realized that the prime function of the attach carrier in the 7th Fleet is to be on the scene to discourage aggression by our enemies. Our very presence in such troubled areas indicates to the Communists and to our friends that we are prepared to stand firm in the cause of freedom. Laos was the eenter of world wide 1 news, and we were visited for a few days by a reporter-photographer team, from Time-Lufe Publications. This picture of the sliuv was published in Lufe magazine and we were justly proud. Courtesy Lufe Magazine Lextngton has really been a name in the news.

Weather people are taught in addition to the sciences of Weather, patience, the ability to accept critisism, threats, bribes, and you name it. Like most divisions, it has its light and dark sides. What with the Weather we get and the weather we gi.ve, it is just as well that most of the ship's people do not know where the weather oflice is: but since the cruise is about terminated it is safe to tell, Up on the O7 level, forward of the stack and just above the bridge aud Navigation is a compact if somewhat noisy space used as the weather office. Amidst the entanglement of cables, wires, machines and instruments you find the battle-ground of the weather personnel. At one time or another, everyone is interested in the weather: like the interest one has in the disbursing oflice on pay-day, With all the activities aboard the ship, someone is always concerned about the weather. Our relationship with everyone is congenial enough but on occasion we are confronted with a little belligerancy. Even if we could control or produce the weather we only stand a 505 change of pleasing everybody. ,. -U w I if . 3 ig Wi ll? 4, ii ,E i i 5 w w l l i 6 l 5 u I .Li ,, li it v 'I li l ? lf i, i 4 Ally wmscm- fx M 1 -S4 U v H: X QL' om N X if f A 0 J W-Q, 5 Qff Qi? 0 x - Y xp X The Electronics Technicians of OE Division are among the highest skilled of all Navy men.

The book says the mission of AD Squadrons is: To conduct both conventional and nuclear offensive attack operations with emphasis on specially assigned tasksf, The assigned tasks are to: a. Conduct strikes against enemy installations b. Destroy enemy naval units and shipping at sea. c. Provide air support for amphibious or land operations. d. Maintain capability to operate from aircraft carriers during darkness and low visibility. In layman terms this means the AD Squadrons assigned to any task group Will accomplish everything any other single seated aircraft is assigned plus everything the jet squadrons can't do. An example of this Can Do '7 ability is the amount of ordnance an AD can carry: 9000 lbs off a carrier and 15000 lbs from an air station. Attack Squadron TWO HUNDRED FIFTEEN is a Well organized team which has maintained an aircraft availa- bility of' 905, flown 810 hours in one month, loaded and dropped 61LO001bs of ordnance in a 24 hour period, and eXpects to reach a total of 41300 flight hours for this cruise. .Q f Q gg ,Vg by ADRO l CDR G.

As the voice of the speaker recedes into the background, the wind and sea are muHLled by the fiery tongue and ear splitting roar of the twin jet engines, delivering 21,000 pounds o f thrust to the A3D Skywarriorw poised on the catapault, straining to leap into the sky. At the downward move- ment of the catapault oHicer's hand, another trained and qualified Heavy Attack Squadron FOUR, Detachment LIMA crew is away, winging through the sky to strike the enemy a deadly blow. The obvious success of Heavy Attack Squadron FOUR, Detachment LIMA, not only encompasses the triumphant return of the flying warriors, but the many long hours of pains-taking, meticulous atten- tion to duty and the loving care of the aircraft by the maintenance personnel. These gentlemen of labor are the key to all successful missions and the eventual safe return of the intrepid knights of the sky . Theirs is truly a labor of love. CDR H. S.

This is the third detachment of WF-2 TRACERS to operate in the Pacific Fleet. The TRACER, with its huge saucer-like radome, is now a familiar and friendly sight to the Minutemen. The WF is the first aircraft designed and built primarily for AEW. Capt. R. W. Mathew Jr., skipper of VAW 11, describes the WF-2 as the greatest single advance in carrier- controlled early detection of enemy forces reached by the Navy in 15 years of research and develop- ment . VAW 13 Det Lima is on the job to give us the needed margin of early Warning which is so necessary in an age of potential nuclear attack. 298 LCDR L. Beckman LT J. Y. Palmer W V fgi5v,xbS,,l- .A-ff..

Upon deployment the photo detachment must he prepared to photograph many types of targets ranging from coastlines to airfields and industrial complexes, and must he able to rapidly derive and disseminate the intelligence contained in this photography. When a photo plane returns from a mission the detachment photographers mates quickly unload the exposed film and rush it to the ship's photo lab Where flash prints are made and turned over to detachment photo interpreters. The photos are interpreted and intelligence reports issued. LTJG El. Holahan, LT D. M. Sumner, LT IR. Douglas, O in C LTJG T C Kolstad , LT J. M.

Miller and the talented staff of Carrier Division Three have been the embarked 44 Flag M during the LeXington's 1960-61 Westpac cruise. From its headquarters in Flag Plot, just below the ship's bridge, the Flag observes the operations of the ship and, more important, the overall operations of the Task Group. It plans training schedules and coordinates the various units concerned. For a period of time during the cruise Admiral Miller Was Commander of Task Force 77, thus placing him in charge of all the attack carriers then operating in the 7th Fleet. i r E CAPT French Wampler Jr. Chief of Staff l A a 'e 4 1 1 1 I it NJ I fi CDR F.

MC NAMARA BUSINESS MANAGER This book would not have been possible without the generous contributions of the men of the Lexington. The Photo Lab spent countless hours taking pictures specifically for the cruise book. Many thanks to them and to their boss, Chief Reid, for all their help. In addition many slides and black and White pictures were donated for use in the hook from private collections. Names of contributors of colored pictures appear next to the pictures. This was impossible to do with all the black and White pictures, so the Editors take this Opportunity to once again thank all those who offered help-pictures, Write-ups, or ideas. The excellent art Work displayed throughout the book is the Work of Ding of Medical. The cartoons, featuring the N Minuteman M, are contributed by Frank Brown of G Division. Many of the pictures of Japan were photographed by Julian Wasser. Also thanks to Ltjg McNamara for his excellent sales campaign, to Ens Cottesman for coordinating operations While the Editor was in Tokyo, and to Cdr Clark for his overall interest and moral support. POWER FOR PEACE has attempted to capture the spirit of our 1960-61 West Pac cruise. We hope you have enjoyed the book as much as we have enjoyed making it possible.
